Ready for another flash fiction weekend? Your challenge is to write up to 1500 words by Sunday night.
This prompt works a little differently. Below you’ll find a table. You must select one character, one destination, one encounter and one item. However, you’re restricted: you may not select from any row more than twice.
Ready? Build your prompt and go!
| Character….. | On their way to….. | Encounters a….. | Carrying….. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fisher | The sea | Mermaid | A golden rod |
| Miser | A lake | Banker | A magic pearl |
| Scholar | The River | Con Artist | A strange map |
Posting is optional, but if you do post, I’d love to see it! You can leave a comment below, tag me @fictionseed on bluesky or @fictseed on tumblr.
